The best visualizations allow humans to humans to make decisions quickly. For example, having a wall of gauges showing all manner of readings from industrial machinery is hard to process, but a flashing red light when something goes wrong allows a human to make a decision. Sometimes the best visualization is a flashing light!
When working with GPS data, the clearest visualization can be to plot the data on a map. A map showing delivery trucks for exampel, can help workers at a processing plant see when trucks will arrive. If this map shows more that just pictures of trucks at their current locations, but gives an idea of the contents of a truck, then the workers at the plant can plan accordingly - if they see a refrigerated truck close by they know to prepare space in a fridge.

Now that you have your web app in place with the map displaying, you need to extract GPS data from your storage account and display it in a layer of markers on top of the map. Before we do that, let's look at the [GeoJSON](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoJSON) format that is required by Azure Maps.
[GeoJSON](https://geojson.org/) is an open standard JSON specification with special formatting designed to handle geographic-specific data. You can learn about it by testing sample data using [geojson.io](geojson.io), which is also a useful tool to debug GeoJSON files.
